Happy Foodie Friday!! This week we’re ventured out to Nuvo Kitchen: @nk_restaurant in East Meadow Long Island, NY. This Caribbean Fusion restaurant is located on Hempstead turnpike in a shopping area be sure to have your navigation on you don’t miss it.
.
We entered to the sounds of the waterfall at the front entrance along with the lovely arrangement of yellow and multi colored chairs with the tunes of Bob Marley playing.
The attendant took our temperatures then our coats for coat check... yes you read that correctly then seated us to our table. The dining area is large and separated with clear dividers as your seated away from other patriots.
.
Once seated our waiter gave us warm towels for our hands, ooh it felt very fancy. To start we had the Sky Juice which is a beefeater gin with coconut cream, pineapple juice with nutmeg, sounds good wait until you see what it looks like. I had the Cable Car, a smooth blend of fresh squeezed lemon juice with a Captain Morgan rum. This drink will get you sneak up on you quick so take your time with this one.
.
Let’s get into the food, shall we? This time we didn’t get any appetizers. For the entree we got Coconut Curry Goat and Saffron Spiced Lobster. Now, both of the dishes were plated very photographically. The taste on the other had not as much. Sorry to say but the Curry Goat was far from traditional Curry flavor which each Island has a different way of doing curry but in this case, it tasted more like beef taste then curry goat.
.
I had the Saffron Spiced Lobster; the lobster was good with the saffron & egg noodles. Minus the fact no mention of cheese is featured on the menu with this dish. I picked off the cheese but this should be mentioned in case someone has is allergic. The egg noodles will fill you up but not enough lobster is offered to even out the dish. In addition, the vegetables reminded me of veggies you get from the frozen isle in the supermarket.
.
The experience of the ambiance is fantastic along with the drinks and service. I would try this place out again but try the appetizers and different entree. Vegan options are available as well, if you check @nk_restaurant let me know.
